The logic, or so i am told, of Kent CC is that garages are mostly not used for vehicles any more as you suggest. Car barns are more likely to be used as they are 'drive straight in' unlike most garages with doors. The irony, as i see it, is numerous car barns where my daughter lives have been enclos...

As a (very) much younger man, i was always envious of the pit in my Father's garage . A previous owner of the property must have had it dug out. It was tile lined and had power. Id like that now, though an X6 or similar doesnt fit in the average Noddy car sized garage. There's quite a lot of housing...

More than once I've toyed with the idea of contrast colour edges, but the few I've noticed on other vehicles didn't convince me. One issue for me would be getting a perfect butt joint, as thats only as good as the person fitting them. Gaps that fill with crud highlighting the joint would not be a sm...

Two newbies today. Neither said 'hello' and clearly are just info hunting

Fitting sheet is here: https://www.osram.com/ecat/LEDriving%20LG-LED%20daytime%20running%20light-Car%20lighting-Automotive/com/en/GPS01_1175836/ZMP_1167079/#downloads Doesn’t look too tricky. 4 wires only if I’m reading it right. Wiring might be straightforward, i think they'd look good on facelift...

These might have been good, but for the price and p&p. The chrome section wasn't ideal either :oops: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285281633068?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=K_X_jHKHScq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Pdt3tBmuQSq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

They'd look rather good on the facelifted model, underneath the foglight trim

Those do look nice. I wonder how they'd look on the front of a pre facelift car? And how to integrate them into the loom ???

Ouch. Even more restricted access to would be tinkerers.

Sadly also NLA

I wonder if these are worth a punt? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272749589284?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=N-Qupo4SS2-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Pdt3tBmuQSq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Maybe also swap the fog/cornering lights to LED bulbs for a cleane...

Bugger!
I've become increasingly frustrated at the yellowish tones the general lighting offers outside of the xenons. Having replaced all of the front lighting on my 2005 Touareg with Philips Ultinon LEDs, that car looks fresher, almost younger than the X6

Curious if anyone has fitted any aftermarket LED drl's to an E71 or E70? I'm thinking the slim rectangular type, probably fitted in/on the foglight panel. I'd be open to other possibilities though.

Wiring may need professional help, given the complexity involved?

An addendum on the damaged interior trim So yesterday was finally the day for replacement of the damaged trim from the airbag recall. In fairness, Arden BMW never argued or disputed my claim. Its probably cost them a few bob too. It's also taken an age to happen as the centre console trim was a spec...

Airbags while you waited? Perhaps the fitters are more adept at it now. My E71 was an overhight guest of the dealership.
